They were walking on people’s backs while doing yoga. Pretty funny to watch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’ll never see me smile like when I’m playing with a goat. I could go for a goat massage. Lol 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vancouver tomorrow for a smoke with @MrGinger, hopefully, then I’m buggin north up the Alcan! 11 hours ago, bpm32 said: My Motherland. Dad and his brothers used to ride their dirt bikes near Roslyn. Really cool little town. This place was inadvertently my first inspiration to move to Alaska. Watching Northern Exposure as a kid was when the bug first hit me. I’m gonna shell out a little more support for the local economy here before makin my way to seattle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bpm32 Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 How is the air quality in Vancouver? I was in Seattle over the weekend and the sky looked like nothing I’d ever seen there. At night the moon was red. I guess it was even worse in Spokane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a mess right now. I’m gonna try and meet a non-cigar buddy by 1pm. Then I’m meeting with @MrGinger at a lounge (of his recommendation) whenever he’s free. I’m not hard-pressed for an exact time for that. Whenever works. Would love to have you come join us! I pm’ed you my number. Shoot me a text. 3 hours ago, bpm32 said: How is the air quality in Vancouver? I was in Seattle over the weekend and the sky looked like nothing I’d ever seen there. At night the moon was red. I guess it was even worse in Spokane. It’s been nasty the past couple of days, though Seattle doesn’t look as bad today as SE Oregon looked yesterday. It’s cooling down right now significantly, and the moon isn’t red. Feels like a good indication that we’re finally getting the smoke-clearing wind they’ve been telling us about. Fingers crossed ?

cfc1016 Posted August 23, 2018 Author Share Posted August 23, 2018 It was a crazy ~6 hours of work getting the boxpass closed out tonight with Brian. So much fun though. Feels so good to have such a monumental event completed on my final night in the lower 48, and with such a good friend helping me do it, no less. Every step of this journey has just been awesome. I’m on cloud 9. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc1016 Posted August 24, 2018 Author Share Posted August 24, 2018 I’m sitting in a dairy queen in Cache Creek BC right now, availing myself of their wifi. Figured I’d post an update. As I crossed the border into BC, i learned that verizon doesn’t cover Canada, and neither does my garmin GPS. I was traveling blind into Vancouver for my visit with @MrGinger . I managed to get data roaming turned on and used the phone to get me to my meetup with MrGinger. Upon closing googlemaps i saw a text notifying me that that had cost me ~$50 in roaming data charges. Ouch. Soooo I’m finally downloading some offline google maps in the hopes that that’ll get me safely to Alaska. Vancouver was loads of fun. Apparently MrGinger’s local spot isn’t in the best neighborhood, so we carried my kayaks a block and brought them into the ‘office’. Had to be a first for them, lol. Huge props to MrGinger for goin with the flow and improving. Awesome time was had at the office, with great company. Chille got a much needed break from the road/work. I even got to meet a personal hero who lives in Vancouver - Chris A., creator of ‘Scratch Radio’ my all time top favorite Internet radio station. What a cool guy, and an honor to meet him. After that I followed the expert advice of te folks at the office and got beef/chorizo/bacon poutine at ‘Belgian Fries’. It was GLORIOUS. The border crossing was impressively smooth. I had all my documents prepared and they didn’t even check any of them... OR MY TRAILER. It was crazy. I answered some questions for ~5 minutes and breezed through. Crazy time. Had a nice rest last night in Hope, BC and am now pushing through as far as i can manage today. I packed my travel humi with nothing but great gifts from @awkwardPause . I figured on this last leg, I might as well smoke nothin but the good stuff. Delicious VR famosos to start my day. Once i get a coffee, I’ll be lighting up something else that I’m sure will be excellent. Lusitania perhaps?... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been sharing a lot of those sticks with other folks too, but I’ve been smoking ~3-4 cigars/day since i left for canada. Sitting at walmart in Whitehorse, YT, right now, catching up on a few things briefly. Should be hitting anchorage tomorrow afternoon. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool, I pastored a church in Delta Junction for a couple of years. There is a drive-in restaurant in the middle of town that serves a good buffalo burger and the milkshakes are really good as well. If it’s open on your way through it’d be worth stopping for.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
